mm: munlock: remove redundant get_page/put_page pair on the fast path
The performance of the fast path in munlock_vma_range() can be further
improved by avoiding atomic ops of a redundant get_page()/put_page() pair.
When calling get_page() during page isolation, we already have the pin
from follow_page_mask(). This pin will be then returned by
__pagevec_lru_add(), after which we do not reference the pages anymore.
After this patch, an 8% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large
memory area with THP disabled.
